Take the cable car for 360 degree views (there is a rotating floor). We spent about a hour wandering around the top, with views over Cape Town and Camps Bay. There is a rocky path, fine with trainers. Recommended

The organisation makes things run smoothly. As a must see sight there was inevitably a queue, but shade was provided and once at the top it feels spacious. The views were worth it and the food served in the 1067 cafe was very good. All staff were friendly and helpful.

There are unofficial websites offering cableway tickets up Table Mountain at exorbitant prices. Avoid these. Just use tablemountain.net for everything you need. Importantly, the top masthead of the website tells you whether the cableway is running or suspended due to the weather or wind conditions. And it gives an estimate of the queue time for the cable cars, assuming you already have tickets. Except for the busiest periods, the wait is only 5 minutes to a maximum of 30 minutes in both directions. So it's mostly unnecessary to splurge for the expensive "fast track" tickets. When we went, there was only a 5-minute wait for the next cable car. The views were tremendous, and with the floor of the car rotating 360 degrees during the ride, everyone had a view. At the top, we enjoyed a warm, sunny day, but the wind was a bit chilly. We embarked on the 45-minute walk around the top, turning around at the ravine that led to the next peak. The views on both sides were spectacular, Cape Town on one side and Camps Bay on the other. We were hoping to see Dassies, the cute rodent creatures that inhabit the mountain top, but we didn't see any. There were a number of colourful lizards, however. When we were ready to descend, the cableway was suspended due to high winds! We stood in a queue for an hour, inching our way forward in a chilly wind that made us glad we brought our windbreakers up, even though we didn't need them until now. An announcement went out on the tannoy throughout the mountain top, telling everyone to make their way to the station to take the last few cars down. This was followed by what sounded like an air-raid siren! My daughter said it was rather "panic inducing"! Eventually we were in a cable car going down. If we had paid for "fast track" tickets, with the suspension, we would still be in the same queue as everyone else, so we were glad we didn't bother. All in all, it was an excellent trip up to Table Mountain. And we were fortunate to make it down the last few cars when the service was suspended. I wondered if they ever left people up there either overnight, or to walk the long walk down, if the cable cars were completely stopped due to the weather. And the next day, due to the winds, the cableway was not operating at all, so we were fortunate to have picked the day we did, as we wouldn't have had the flexibility to go up another day.

Magnificent place that stunned me with its beauty! I went three times until a beautiful day came, so I can really experience the Table Top mountain and take awesome pictures and videos. If you are in Cape Town-this spot is a must! You will not regret it.

Magnificent and Beautiful, we did the little trail at the top. The sun was shining and we had clears skies is the views were amazing. Honestly I could spend all day going on about how good it was. Its just a must if you are in Cape Town drink in the experience, views and maybe a cheeky beer to finish off your walk. Please give yourself plenty of time, it took most of our core day.

Table top mountain is an important landmark and a “must see” when visiting Cape Town. It has a distinctive flat top. We took the cable car to the top and spent several hours walking around and enjoying the breathtaking views from different areas. Luckily the weather was sunny and clear.

Cape Town is well known as it lies at the bottom of the beautiful Table Mountain. This is a MUST for anyone travelling to Cape Town and is well worth a visit. You can Hike up the mountain which takes about 3 hours, we took the Cable Car and although it takes lots of passengers, the floor rotates so everyone gets to see the stunning scenery going up the mountain. When you reach the top of Table Mountain you will be surprised at the flora and little creatures that call it home. There is also a 'Shop at the Top', a restaurant and a coffee shop. Well worth a visit. Sarah and Dean UK

Fabulous views but even better when you earn them by hiking to the top. I recommend Plattekipp Gorge, which takes 2 strenuous hours. Great draft beer selection at the top! You can take the cable car down.

There are two lines at the bottom of the mountain, one to buy tickets and another to board the cable car. We got both skip the line tickets in advance and saved a lot of time on a busy day. Not cheap but well worth it. The gondola is unusual in that it rotates, so everyone gets a view on the way up and down. Spectacular view from on top, but an hour is more than enough unless you are a skilled hiker and want to try the trails.

Table Mountain lived up to its reputation. Spectacular! But what made it extra special was our guide, Siyabonga Setong, who lead the free walking tour at the top. Siya was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of this natural landmark, and also had deep knowledge of the plant, animal and bird life of the area. He enriched our experience dramatically.
